Currently a new filter is created, containing just enough correct information to be able to call ocelot_vcap_block_find_filter_by_index() on it. This will be limiting us in the future, when we'll have more metadata associated with a filter, which will matter in the stats() and destroy() callbacks, and which we can't make up on the spot. For example, we'll start "offloading" some dummy tc filter entries for the TCAM skeleton, but we won't actually be adding them to the hardware, or to block->rules. So, it makes sense to avoid deleting those rules too. That's the kind of thing which is difficult to determine unless we look up the real filter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
